Welcome to my very first Steam guide! I hope to really help you out in No Man's Sky, and I hope to impress! The time it takes to do this from what I've recorded, is about 2 and a half minutes at the least, I think, and in depth inventory managing probably 5 minutes.

Here's to hoping that I really help a lot of people out! :3

Here's where we get to work!

First, what I'm going to have you do, is go to the nearest space station, and enter it. After entering, go to the Galactic Trade Center and buy one stack (250) of Titanium. If you already have this, then skip that. After you get the Titanium or have discovered you already had it, sell every single thing in your inventory that you for sure can live without. I keep all of my Plutonium, no matter how much I have, and I keep elements that I need for crafting, sometimes.

Second, when you have an empty inventory (besides said items), then go back to your ship, and take off from the space center. After you've done this, hoplefully a few huge ships are near you, if not, then hold space and fly somewhere a couple ks away. When you've found a few large ships, scout one for a brief moment and find the turrets on it, you'll need to take these out when you decide you are ready. The ships I usually go for are the ones with the most turrets on them. I'm not too quite sure if different ships carry different things or not, but I can tell you that the ones with round storage containers carry more than the others I believe.

Third, when you've found the ship you want to loot, immedialy destroy the turrets first. When you do that, you will get 2 wanted levels (I believe). Wait for the sentinel ships to come, then when they spawn in, there should be only 2, just destroy only ONE, don't hurt the other any if you can help it. When the sentinel ships are low health they do more damage I've noticed.

Fourth, after destroying one sentinal ship, there should be one left, just ignore it completely, but mind your shield level. The stack of Titanium you have should be more than needed for 2 fighters, but if not, don't worry, that huge ship you're looting will DEFINATELY have Titanium. (If it doesn't, then wtf, jk, the next cargo container should most definately have some. If not as well, it will have Iron, just use that.) What you really need to keep mind of, is how much space you have left in your ship inventory, if it's full, you won't get any more items, it will just pick the valuables up and delete them. Which brings me on to the next step.

I'm just going to say this first... Delete the iron you will surely get. Think it as grits, it's not very tastey, and it's really just a filler. Meaning by that, is that it isn't really valuable, and takes up a bunch of inventory space.

What you really need to keep, are:
Neutral elemets (they're colored turquise or a blue-green color I think)

Titanium - It's an Oxide element, meaning it will charge your shield, and costs a lot because it doesn't take much of it to recharge your shield.

Some blue items (trading, I think, and Chrysonite) - Chrysonite is more of a reward for attacking these things, because they are useful for a bunch of upgrades, but can also be sold because they are a rare element.


What you really don't need to keep:

Pretty much anything that doesn't sell for a good individual price

Iron...

Dimensional Matrices

Other odd-ball items that don't look so expensive.

Really you should be thanking me!

But really, thanks for reading all the way, and especially this. I know it doesn't have any videos or images like all the other good ones have, but this information should be just as good!

Have a nice life!
